Accumulation Help

[DreamNaut]

Hello I am writing a method that shifts each letter in a String over in the alphabet n times. I am having trouble figuring out a way to accumulate the results

Code:
public String shift(int n){

char character;

for (int i = 0; i < text.length(); i++)
{
character = text.charAt(i);
if(character>='A'&& character<='Z'){
character = (char) (character + n);
if (character>'Z')
character-=26;

// ACCUMULATION HERE
text=Character.toString(character);

}

}
return text;
}


any advice is appreciated!

Try using a StringBuilder.
